Safety safety safety. I love my 911 but if it came to a crash I'd much rather be in my Giulia with its extra 1,000 pounds.
Certainly there's a lot of bloat in modern cars, but it makes sense--it's also what more customers want.
That said, a new 911 is only 700lbs more than my '82. Considering how much larger and safer it is, that's not a lot of weight.
